The old man, with a bored expression, is watching all that is written. A young man advances and takes up the pen. Father Time chuckles as he watches the young man write: We, the class of '24, are an outstanding class because of our achievements, pep, and ideas. In us is exemplified all that other classes have longed to be. We are known as the class that 'puts things acrossf We have always taken an active -1 interest in the affairs of our school, and in athletics, forensics, and music we are I very prominent. Our athletic prowess is shown by our record in football, with six .-. letter men and the captain elect from our class. In basketball and track Juniors - have competed successfully. Six of the 1923 debaters are Juniors, and the only I. H. S. representative in the Declamation contest belongs to our class. Juniors form the largest part of our fine orchestra, glee clubs, quartets, and chorus. Members of our class have taken an active part in both the Y. M. and Y. W. Junior names are always to be found on the Honor roll, quite often at the top. We won the Annual contest and were entertained at the All-School carnival as the guests of the other classes. Thus the class of '24 has added its contribution to the achievements and tradi- tions of I. H. Sf, . The young man lays down the pen and, smiling at the old man, goes on. Father Time turns over the leaf, and continues to watch what is written, but every now and then he raises his eyes from the History, and chuckles with approval as he recalls the class of '24.

A Full House The senior class play, HA Full House, by Fred Jackson, was performed at the Beldorf during Commencement week. It was an epoch-maker among class plays, for a more side-splitting comedy was never seen in Independence. It was as decided a hit as What Happened to Jones. Preparation was not begun until April 7, which gave Miss lngleman only four weeks to whip the play into creditable form, but her experience in getting results from student casts was equal to the emergency. The plot of the production centers about an amusing mistake. George Howell, a newly married lawyer, unwittingly exchanges luggage with a crook, and when his wife discovers burglar's tools and stolen jewelry, has to do a little pleading on his own account. Marion Dollison, as might be expected, stars as leading 111811. Ruth Woods, in the role of Mrs. Howell, is a charming bride. Earl Hussong, as Ned Pembroke, makes love in a manner that leads onlookers to suspect that he has had much practice in the art. Elizabeth Piper, the fiancee, plays the coquette convincingly, while Kenneth Cornell, the burglar, has realized the ambition of his life in being allowed to portray a. tough character, Madge Bright, the maid: Louise Aubuchon, the crusty Aunt, Joy Jackman, butler, Lloyd Meyers, policeman, Zora Riggs, Thelma Sloan, and Viola Gimm, as social acquaintances of the family, all enact their roles with con- vincing character touches, showing careful coaching. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Ingleman, who is always the vital force holding a cast together and keeping it at work during the crowded days and nights just before Commencement. Twenty-Seven.
